Travel Grants for BMT Tandem Meetings
Available for Hem/Onc Fellows

ASBMT members can nominate hematology and oncology fellows for travel grants to attend the 2009 BMT Tandem Meetings in February in Tampa. 

Ten grants of $1,000 each will be awarded first-come, first-served as part of a program to introduce young clinicians and investigators to the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation. 

"A travel grant might be an attractive first step for recruiting a young clinician or investigator to consider our field," said Robert Negrin, MD, co-chair of the ASBMT Committee on Young Clinicians and Investigators.  "You may have someone in mind right now who would be an ideal candidate for a career in BMT."

Applicants must be:

·     enrolled in an accredited hematology and/or oncology training program in the United States or Canada

·     recommended by an ASBMT member

·     recommended by the applicant’s training program director

In some instances the ASBMT member and the training program director may be the same person.

Nominations must be submitted on an Application Form that is available on the ASBMT Web site.  Instructions for submission are printed on the form.
